Here are the numbers from Reuters Institute and Oxford for France in 2018 (June):

and here are the comparable numbers for the USA:

Quickly, one can read French people pay less for online news, use more ad blockers, trust less the media they use. Matter of fact, the ratio News I use vs Overall Trust is almost 3 times less in France (only 17% more trust for Media I use”) vs the US (47% more trust for “Media I use”)

2 points are interesting in the context of the Yellow Vest in France:

French trust in overall media is increasing (+17%) while the US it’s decreasing (-11%)

All this confirms the role of trust within media which is the fondation of TrustedOut Corpus Intelligence. For this article, I decided to trust major media sites identified with high traffic and years in business.
